Google Scholar Author Citation API
You have to send a GET request to http://api.scrapingdog.com/google_scholar/author with the below-given parameters.
Parameters
Paramter
Description
citation_id required
The parameter is essential for fetching the citation of individual articles. It's mandatory when choosing "view_op=view_citation
" and allows access to IDs within our structured JSON response.
Type: String
view_op required
Author ID of the person you want to get data
The parameter allows users to access specific sections of a page, offering two choices:
Use "
view_citation
" to display citations. It requires the citation ID.Opt for "
list_colleagues
" to view all co-authors.
Type: String

"description": " We present Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq data, MACS, which analyzes data generated by short read sequencers such as Solexa's Genome Analyzer. MACS empirically models the shift size of ChIP-Seq tags, and uses it to improve the spatial resolution of predicted binding sites. MACS also uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in the genome, allowing for more robust predictions. MACS compares favorably to existing ChIP-Seq peak-finding algorithms, and is freely available.",
